Ciro Immobile struck an injury-time penalty to earn Lazio a 1-0 win over Fiorentina on Monday, ending the visitors' hopes of returning to the top four in Serie A. After Nikola Milenkovic was punished for a handball four minutes into stoppage time, Immobile sent the goalie the wrong way. Both teams struggled to create chances, although Fiorentina came closest early on. Lucas Beltran's early goal was overturned following a video review, and he later struck the post with a header.
The three points helped Lazio climb up to seventh position, a point and a place ahead of its opponent. The Tuscans started the day in fifth place but fell a spot as Atalanta defeated Empoli 3-0. In another match, Gianluca Scamacca’s double goal helps Atalanta move up into the top-four position while Empoli hopes to climb out of the relegation zone in the next match.
